For rice lovers who want more than just “good enough,” the Tiger JPW-H10U and JPW-H18U Induction Heating Rice Cookers bring professional-level results to your kitchen countertop. Made in Japan and built for consistency, these models are packed with advanced features designed to elevate your daily meals, whether you’re cooking jasmine rice, brown rice, porridge, or even soup.
Powerful Induction Heating for Perfect Texture
Unlike basic rice cookers, these models use Powerful IH (Induction Heating) to heat the inner pot evenly from all sides. This ensures each grain is plump and fully cooked, with no hotspots or soggy clumps. The far-infrared three-layer ceramic-coated inner pot further enhances heat distribution, locking in flavor and creating beautifully fluffy rice every time.
14 Preset Cooking Functions for Maximum Versatility
From sushi rice to hearty multigrain blends, the 14 built-in settings cover every type of rice you can imagine, plus slow-cooked soups and sweet rice. Two standout features are:
- Premium Mode: Extends water absorption time to draw out more aroma, sweetness, and texture.
- Express Limited Cups Mode: Perfect for busy days, this setting cooks a small batch of rice in as little as 18 minutes without sacrificing quality.
Whether preparing GABA rice for a healthy meal or a cozy bowl of porridge, this cooker has a smart setting to make it easy.
Easy to Use and Clean
Daily usability is a clear priority. The only parts you need to clean are the inner pot and inner lid, both of which are easily removable. Despite the wide range of cooking options, the interface remains simple and intuitive, great for beginners and experienced home cooks alike.
Size Options for Different Households
- JPW-H10U: Cooks 0.5–5.5 cups of uncooked rice (up to 10 cups cooked), perfect for singles, couples, or small families.
- JPW-H18U: Cooks 1–10 cups of uncooked rice (up to 20 cups cooked), ideal for larger families or batch cooking.
Both models share the same features; the only difference is capacity.
Real User Impressions
One user described it as the best rice cooker they’ve ever used, highlighting how well it handles even small batches without uneven results. They were especially impressed by the quick mode and the way the rice maintains its shape and texture, even hours after cooking. While the lack of a reheat option was noted, the extended quality retention helps make up for it.
